Key update: Get the most out of your bike rides with Yandex.Maps!

Make your bike rides safe and enjoyable with the new update. With the new "Bike route" feature, the app will plot directions via bike paths, parks, embankments, and quiet streets - main roads and busy streets will only be included in your route as a last resort.

Enjoy improved features for other modes of transportation:• Plan car trips with multiple stops.

Just get directions home as usual, then open the address panel at the top of the app and add new stops to your route.• Choose your preferred mode of public transport when getting directions. For example, if you don’t want to use the metro or take a commuter train, you can indicate that you wish to travel by bus, trolleybus, or tram instead.• Get to your stop on time by selecting from a list of arrival and departure times when getting directions for public transport.

Feedback from a Biker

I prefer this app because of it's simplicity over others and the ability to zoom in and out with a tap instead of pinching. And the new feature is wonderful for us.

Because of the position and the size of my phone on my handlebar, I sometimes have problems while trying to tap the zoom buttons. While riding, I only use my left hand as my free hand since it is much safer for cycling. But the buttons are on the right side. Is it possible to add a setting which will let's us choose where the buttons should be?

Lastly, I wonder if it is possible to add a grade/elevation map. It'd be perfect for cycling.

Thank you for making the app more bike-friendly.
